Acemoglu and Robinson examine how and why human societies have achieved liberty-- or failed to achieve it. Believing that liberty is a basic aspiration of all human beings, they examine why it has been rare in history-- and is rare today. -- adapted from foreword

Plunder and deceit : big government's exploitation of young people and the future / by Levin, Mark R.(Mark Reed),1957-(CARDINAL)343790;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 195-244).Plunder and deceit -- On the debt -- On social security -- On medicare and Obamacare -- On education -- On immigration -- On the environment -- On the minimum wage -- On national security -- On the constitution -- A new civil rights movement.In modern America, talk radio host Levin argues, the civil society is being steadily devoured by a ubiquitous federal government. But as the government grows into an increasingly authoritarian and centralized federal Leviathan, many parents continue to tolerate, if not enthusiastically champion, grievous public policies that threaten their children and successive generations with a grim future at the hands of a brazenly expanding and imploding entitlement state poised to burden them with massive debt, mediocre education, waves of immigration, and a deteriorating national defense. Levin's latest book is an appeal to reason and audacity -- one intended for all Americans but particularly the rising generation. Younger people must find the personal strength and will to break through the cycle of statist manipulation, unrelenting emotional overtures, and the pressure of groupthink, which are humbling, dispiriting, and absorbing them; to stand up against the heavy hand of centralized government, which if left unabated will assuredly condemn them to economic and societal calamity.

A Libertarian walks into a bear : the Utopian plot to liberate an American town (and some bears) / by Hongoltz-Hetling, Matthew,author.(CARDINAL)839536;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 257-274).A feline feeding -- A taxing tradition -- The logical libertarian -- A quartet of colonists -- A rousing response -- The converted caretaker -- The blackness of the bear -- The scrappy survivalist -- The animal admirers -- Fanning freedom -- The principled pastor -- A battle with bears -- Unlocking utopia -- A history of heat -- The pastor purplifies -- The campfire clash -- A deluge of doughnuts -- The survivalists struggle -- A bureaucracy of bears -- The caretakers confined -- The hidden hitchhiker -- The pastor's plan -- A bear's belligerence -- A huddle of hunters -- The assault's aftermath -- A pressing of poachers -- The pastor is pushed -- A neighbor annoyed -- The pastor's price -- A propagation of prerogative -- The respectable riot -- An experiment ends -- A denouncement of doughnuts -- A jeopardous journey -- The freedoms forgotten.After a group of libertarians moved to Grafton, NH, with plans to take over the isolated rural community buried in the woods, public funding shrank, state and federal laws became meek suggestions barely heard, and the town's freedom-loving citizens ignored hunting laws and regulations on food disposal. They even built a tent city in an attempt to get further off the grid. Given the large and growing local bear population, conflict became inevitable. This is the story of an American experiment--of what happens when a government disappears into the woods.
